Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7596

Chapter 7511: The Imperial Tower

“Boys, look over there.” Wan Cangyuan’s gaze sharpened as he pointed into the distance.

Li Tianming and the others followed his direction and immediately saw a massive, layered, black and red pavilion.

Its walls were inscribed with dense, profound array patterns, as if the pavilion itself were draped in an outer garment.

In the bustling super-star system capital of Fengxu, there were many tall buildings, but this one stood out remarkably.

This building rose abruptly from the Guanzizai Realm, almost reaching the sky, many times taller than the suspended and towering Fengyue Tower.

Of course, besides its immense size, it was also surrounded by countless guards in uniform armor.

This alone indicated that the people inside the pavilion were of extremely high status!

They might even be officials!

Beneath their red and black armor, the exact age of these soldiers was obscured, but their unique aura of killing intent forced the surrounding onlookers to spontaneously distance themselves.

“Uncle Yuan, what is that place? Why is it so heavily guarded?” Wan Yao asked curiously.

Wan Cangyuan, his gaze deep, slowly replied, “The Battle of Ten Thousand Sects, a contest of geniuses, isn’t ultimately for the common people, but for these so-called big shots… That place is called the ‘Ten Thousand Sects Imperial Tower.’ It’s said that many powerful figures from the Republic of the Divine Heaven and the Qianfeng Eternal Empire reside there, and even powerful figures from other third- or fourth-level star system member states.”

“So, our performance on the battlefield will also be watched?” Huangfu Yu asked, somewhat surprised.

Huangfu Qi patted him on the shoulder and laughed, “That’s right, these big shots are watching you right now. You bunch of little brats better perform well. Whether you soar to great heights or become mere supporting characters depends entirely on your performance.”

“Holy crap!” Huangfu Yu exclaimed excitedly, clenching his fists. “Then I must perform exceptionally well and strive for even better results!”

In that instant, a raging fire seemed to ignite within him!

“Me too, I don’t want to be someone else’s foil!” Wan Yao’s gaze was also burning.

At this moment, Xiang Qin said somewhat quietly, “With our strength… it’s very difficult…”

The difference in strength can sometimes be cruel. Disciples from sects like theirs were barely making it into the second round.

“Alright, it’s time for us to go. The Star Ruins will be leaving soon.” Li Tianming spoke calmly, regardless of what others thought. As

soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him, whether excited or pessimistic, came to their senses and crowded around Li Tianming.

“With Brother Tianming leading us, perhaps things will really be different from before.” Xiang Yan said calmly. Seeing that

Li Tianming had already conquered these proud geniuses in such a short time, Huangfu Qi couldn’t help but look at Li Tianming more, his eyes seemingly showing some surprise.

Li Tianming’s calmness and composure seemed to have invisibly supported the spirit of the entire team.

Thus, the disciples from the major sects bid a brief farewell to their elders and prepared to head to the even more brutal battlefield!

“Uncle Yuan, we’re leaving!”

“Wait for my triumphant return to the Chaotic Dao Ruins!”

“Uncle Xiao, I’m setting off.”

“I’ll try my best not to disappoint the Myriad Forms Battle Sect.”

Several young men under the age of ten thousand waved goodbye and headed towards the Star Ruins.

At this moment, in front of the Myriad Sects Battle Hall, surrounded by a sea of people, tens of thousands of participants were heading towards their respective group’s spaceships.

At the same time, similar farewells were also taking place among the elders and juniors of many sects.

After all, these young geniuses carried the hopes of their sects!

Their achievements were the opportunity to obtain better cultivation resources. Among these people, perhaps most of them would not be so conspicuous in this place full of geniuses, but they were all already the top geniuses of their sects.

As Li Tianming and the others followed the flow of people to the Star Ruins, a sneaky figure suddenly darted through the crowd.

She had bright eyes and short green hair. Every time she passed through an area, she would leap out of the crowd to reconfirm the location of Li Tianming and the others.

At this pace, she quickly arrived beside them.

However, she remained silent throughout until she slapped Li Tianming on the back.

*Smack!*

“Hey! Brother Tianming!”

Li Tianming slowly turned his head, looking at Ji Xuanjian’s bright, smiling face, and said somewhat speechlessly, “How childish are you? Can’t you just come over properly?”

“How could mortals possibly discern the whereabouts of a genius like myself?” Ji Xuanjian narrowed his eyes, staring at Li Tianming, “By the way, why weren’t you scared by me? I was clearly hiding very well! How did you find me? Tell me!”

“Your green hair is so conspicuous, it’s hard not to notice.” Huangfu Yu rolled his eyes from the side.

“Tch! So boring!” Ji Xuanjian pouted.

“When did you arrive? I didn’t see any of your sect elders seeing you off?” Wan Yao glanced around, seemingly somewhat disappointed.

“Ugh, why are you always so concerned about the elders? Are we participating in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War or are the elders participating?” Ji Xuanjian said somewhat speechlessly.

Seeing this reaction, Wan Yao surrendered, saying, “Alright, alright, I won’t mention it again.”

Aside from some curiosity about the person who had inexplicably joined the team, Wan Yao and the others weren’t particularly hostile towards him.

After all, they had barely made it to the second round, and even if there was a hierarchy of contempt among geniuses, they didn’t seem to have the right to look down on someone who had also made it to the second round; ultimately, their skill levels were probably similar.

Of course, this was just their assumption.

“Speaking of which… with so many sects here, have you managed to find out anything about the rules for this round?” Ji Xuanjian suddenly asked.

“Yes, we have, but it doesn’t seem very useful,” Huangfu Yu said helplessly. “We’ll probably have to figure it out as we go, just like in the first round.”

“I’ve brought some news, information I obtained through my exclusive channels, that will definitely give us a head start over everyone else!” Ji Xuanjian suddenly said mysteriously.

“Brother Ji, please share quickly!” Huangfu Yu changed his previous attitude, clasping his hands and bowing slightly.

Knowing the rules in advance would undoubtedly give one an advantage—this was a universally acknowledged truth!

Therefore, the value of the information brought by Ji Xuanjian was self-evident.

At this moment, Ji Xuanjian didn’t keep anyone in suspense. She shook her head slightly and said, “When we enter the secret realm later, each of us five will donate a drop of blood to form a team. That’s the team formation rule. I guess something will bind us together.”
